Claes Jansz. Visscher's "Profiel van Amsterdam, gezien vanaf het IJ (rechterdeel)" (1611) is a detailed etching of Amsterdam viewed from the IJ. This panoramic cityscape showcases the city's bustling port with numerous ships and a lively foreground with figures engaged in various activities, hinting at the city's thriving trade and commerce. The etching is a testament to Visscher's skill in capturing the essence of the Dutch Golden Age and serves as an important historical document for understanding Amsterdam's urban development and the city's role as a major European port.
